2019-S6148 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S6148

SPONSOR: ADDABBO
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 100 of the laws of 2013,
relating to authorizing the reinstatement of prior approved work permits
and waiving the requirements of section 35 and subdivision 2 of section
36 of the general city law as such provisions relate to rebuilding and
repairing homes devastated by Hurricane Sandy in the city of New York,
in relation to the effectiveness thereof

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill allows those residing in Breezy Point to continue rebuilding
their homes following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Due to the
unique layout of Breezy Point many homes do not have mapped street fron-
tage which triggers a BSA hearing and ultimate sign off. This applica-
tion and review process can typically take 6-12 months or more without
the 2013 waiver. It is necessary to extend the waiver for an additional
two years so Breezy Point residents can continue to the process of
rebuilding their homes and putting their lives back together.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of this bill authorizes the reinstatement of prior approved
work permits. It also waives the requirements of section, 35 and subdi-
vision 2 of section 36 of the general city law relating to rebuilding
and repairing of homes devastated by Hurricane Sandy in New York City.
Finally, it amends chapter 81 of the laws of 2015 to state that the
provisions of this act shall expire and be deemed repealed after 6 years
after the effective date.

Section 2 provides that the act shall take effect immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The storms, rains and floods of Hurricane Sandy (Oct 29th 2012-Nov 3rd
2012) caused much devastation to residents of Breezy Point. General City
Law requires applications that can take up to 12 months or more to be
completed. That is too long for our residents to be without a home.
They must be able to start rebuilding and have shovels in the ground as
soon as possible. The extension of this bill continues progress made by
those devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
